The battle for women's rights has been largely won.

I think we're struggling with trying to redefine various positions at this point in history. To allow freedom for women, freedom for men, freedom from those sharply defined gender roles.

As a woman standing up here, we have to fight for the rights of women.

The history of American women is about the fight for freedom, but it's less a war against oppressive men than a struggle to straighten out the perpetually mixed message about women's role that was accepted by almost everybody of both genders.

I think if we get freedom for women, then they are probably going to do a lot of things that I wish they wouldn't do. But it seems to me that isn't our business to say what they should do with it. It is our business to see that they get it.

Women, like men, ought to have their youth so glutted with freedom they hate the very idea of freedom.

We women are going to bring change. We are speaking up for girls' rights, but we must not behave like men, like they have done in the past.

Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.

Freedom is a right ultimately defended by the sacrifice of America's servicemen and women.

We need to stop refighting 40-year old battles on women's rights.
